An active constraint means that this factor is causing the limitation on the objective function. If an active constraint was amount of flour, then by increasing the flour available you could improve …

While we can not achieve rf to be zero, we can look for points where the gradient is perpendicular to the constraint. This gives us an optimal point under the con nement. If you hike on a path in …

Powerful constraint: enforces that all intervals in the array do not overlap with each other! What’s the makespan of this solution?

In computer science, constraints have been with us from the early days, for modeling, representing and reasoning (see the interesting historical remarks in Chapter 2 of this …

Each undirected constraint arc is really two directed constraint arcs, the effects shown above are from examining BOTH arcs.

Constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) often deal with the optimisation of a function together with the satisfaction of constraints. In the continuum, it is a classical mathematical problem like for …

To solve a constraint network consisting of n variables and k values, kn assignments must be considered. Inference can alleviate this combinatorial explosion, but will not always avoid it.
